Anyone else feel they aren't making progress a year post-stroke?

Be patient with yourself. It seems like you aren't progressing but you need rest and progress slows down. The more you do the more you can do...even though the first day you do something, it will seem hard....but the next time will be easier. You can only try what you are capable of feel like doing....pain is awful and discouragement doesn't help anything. You have people who love you and want you around wheel chair or not

@winjki I think of my injured brain as separate person who has good days and bad and is a person i must train! Every day is a challenge. I keep a chart of my progress. OK so today maybe I saw the Red bead....that is a mark on the chart. Tomorrow I may not. But in a week seeing the red bead will get easier. I know that my perspective on my progress is not accurate because I compare today's progress with what I could do before the stroke. So l ask others to tell me...they are honest if you ask them to be. ....and there are famous people who were handicapped yet did amazing things without getting better....read or listen about FDR and others.....take heart you are not alone!
